Since the 1983 hit duet Islands in the Stream, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton have scored numerous chart-toppers, both collectively and as solo artists, selling over 200 million records worldwide.
Rogers’ combination of country and pop music has continually proven to be successful with audiences worldwide.
Parton is one of the most successful female artists in music history, best known for her voluptuous figure, big hair and hit songs such as Working 9 to 5 and the worldwide smash I Will Always Love You that was later covered by Whitney Houston.
On April 21, international entertainer Marty Edwards will bring his acclaimed Kenny and Dolly: Together Again show to the Fergus Grand Theatre.
Direct from Las Vegas, Edwards, who takes on the role of Kenny Rogers, has also appeared throughout North America.
Dolly Parton will be portrayed by Canadian Country music legend Marie Bottrell. With a total of 18 Top 40 radio hits, Bottrell is an eight-time Juno nominee, a two-time Canadian Country Music Association female vocalist of the year, and in 2010 was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.
“It’s a thrill to perform with Marie Bottrell, I’ve always been a fan of hers,” Edwards said in a press release.
Marie said, “It’s an honour to portray Dolly Parton, who is one of my musical heroes. She has wonderful songs, is a talented writer and fabulous performer. In fact, I grew up listening to her music.”
Edwards says he is frequently mistaken for Kenny Rogers in his daily travels. To find out more about Edwards and this show, visit www.KindaKenny.com.
